Sicker

My lovely cold had decided to kick my ass. I am now coughing which really hurts my back. My sinuses are clogged so I have a constant headache. One would think that having your husband home would mean some extra loving care but that is just not to be. When he's sick I'll bring him cups of tea and water. I'll make him soup and bring him medication if he wants it. When I'm sick he's annoyed because I can't do anything. I can't talk cause my voice is all messed up too so he has to answer the phone. We don't get alot of calls.

What really annoys me is how he takes out his frustration on the kids. Our daughter had her inoculations today. She had two in one arm and one in the other. Her arms are pretty sore. She was supposed to go to gymnastics but asked if she could skip it. She doesn't ask to skip often and I know what my arm feels like after my flu shot so I can only imagine it's worse when you have three. Husband says no and gets all upset mostly because he had to make supper early so she could eat before gymnastics. I told him she could stay home because her arms were sore and now he's even madder. Sheesh have some compassion man!

Looks like Mr. Jerk is going to get a talking to as soon as my voice is up to it. I'm tired of his attitude. And men think they don't have PMS, for them it should be called LAJ (lazy, annoying, jerk) instead. Okay, I'm about done with the husband bashing. I'm hoping that sometime next week I'll have a story about something great that he's done, cause he is capable of being a real great guy when he tries.

There is a huge difference between being frugal and not being able to afford things. I am both. I do all the usual things to save money because I think it's important for the environment. I'd do those things even if I had tons of money.

But there are days when beings poor really blows, like today. We used to have a basic cable package. It wasn't really expensive but we decided to cut it because it wasn't worth the money. Instead we decided to invest in Netflix. For only $8 a month you can watch a bunch of older movies. For those of you in the US you get many more movies than we do in Canada. Actually the service kinda sucks in Canada but they just started to offer their service in Canada so I'm hoping things will improve. I'm getting rather sick of all the crap movies they offer, but in comparison we didn't get anything better on cable.

Tonight I was looking forward to watching a British Comedy I'd found. I sit down all comfy with my blanket …

This year I am trying to read more. I used to read lots of books but not so much anymore. I have a ton of books I must get to reading just so I can get them out of my house as they are starting to take over my living room shelves. I just started this goal last month and so far have read four books.

I read "Gone Feral" by Novella Carpenter. It wasn't too bad but I've read one of her books already so I knew I'd like it. It's about her quest to connect with her father.

The second one I read was "in a Dark, Dark Wood" by Ruth Ware. It's a horror/ mystery book and wasn't too bad. It jumped back and forth in time which always confuses me so not my fave writing style but was a clever story that had you guessing right till the end.

The third book was "The Witches of New York" by Ami McKay. It was set in the early 1900's (I think, don't quote me on that) and didn't have the strongest story line but I liked it. These tw…

I love Halloween and all the fun surrounding it. But today I was watching TV and noticed that Unicef was advertising about collecting during Halloween. Now I'm not against giving to charity at all and I'm sure Unicef does wonderful things for people in need I'm against making Halloween about giving to charity. Can't we just have one holiday where it's about the actual holiday? Do we have to piggyback a charity with every holiday? I don't know about you but I'm already giving out free candy at Halloween and I resent having to feel like I "have" to give to Unicef too. If I wanted to give to Unicef I can do it at any time of year. Why don't they make their own Unicef holiday instead of stealing Halloween from the kids?

I know this may seem like a petty beef but it's what I've been thinking about and quite frankly it's bugging me. Our school hands the boxes out to all the kids and although it isn't mandatory to collect for Unicef it…
